Let ns analyze that sentence a little, j The first point raised Is a question ! of maturity. The pullet must be ma ! ture before (he lays. If a pullet lays in Uctober, she most be hatched earlj enough in the spring so that she will reach maturity in October.

If they are to lay month earlur they should be bstclied a month etrlier. The Leg - horns should lay the Hist of October if batched first of April. The next pomt refers to health and vinor. The pullet must come to maturity with good healtti and rigor, She ninst hare had roper care daring wo Drooaing and growing period. a stunted chick, uhick batched from an egg laid by a hen out of con aitloo, a chick that has had to battle with insects, peats, or a chick that haa not had proper food aod exercise, will not be a protfiable layer in any season, How to maintain the health and vigor of the flock is the biggest problem in poultry keeping. To get egga in winter the hens must have constitu. tional vigor. The third point is, mat to get eggs the hens most have the proper kind and quantity of food. The hen requires more kinds of food than a cow or a hog. Tbs cow needs no animal food the hen does. The hea gives more considera tion to cleanliness of the produot than the cow ; the reals it up in aBhell of lime to keep it clean and she there fore mast have a liberal sopply of mineral matter. All foods furnish a certain amount of mineral matter. but not enough to supply all tbe shell material whea hens are layiug heavily. What f-ods should they be fed! They should have grain; bnt grain alone won t do. What will happen if the hen eats nothing bot wheat? Remembering that she pats nothiug Into au egg that she does not eat, that an egg contains about one fifth ounce of fat aud that if she ate nothing but wheat she would get enough fat for three or four eggs a day and about enoogh protein for half an egg a day. the thing that will happen will be that she will re fuse to make eggs. Tha hen does not adulterate her product, otherwise ahe could fill np the egg with surplus fat like some , people make butter out of spurious oil or beef fat. She will make au honest article or none at all. The point ia that tha hen should have such foods as will furnish the neoM- tary food elements in proper propor tions; in other words, she should have a balanced rati an. There are different ways of balancing the ration. For Instance, if the hen haa access to wheat, to clover or kaie and to grass hoppers, angleworms, and grit, she will balance her own ration. She will eat a little wheat, a little olover and a few grasshoppers or angleworms and eat enoogh ot each to furnish the egg making elements in right proportion. An occasional feed of corn or oats in place of wheat would Improve the ration. This much for the food how shall it' be fed? Again yon mutt take so- count of the nature of the hen. She is a busy creature naturally ; that is part of her life, and yon most keep ber busy or let her be busy, if she haa free range on tha farm ahe will keep herself busy and her muscle and digestion in good order, bat when you shut her op iu yards 'von are imposing artificial conditions and yon mast provide exercise for ber. I have kept hens for a year on bare board floor in a small pen and fed them well; thev laid about three dozen eggs each daring the year and at the end of the year with this tort of luxury and ease they had lost their constitution aud their nsefulness, while other hens fed in the same way -bnt with a ground floor and deep litter to scratch in and yards to run in laid over 13 dosm egga each, and at the eod of the year were still in the business. Tbe hen needs exercise. Tha demand for ani mal food may be supplied in different ways. Skim milk, milk ourds and buttermilk will take the'plaoe of meat If enoogh of it ean be .fed. Skim milk is largely water and a heavy laying hen can scarcely drink enoogh of it to get tha neoessary amount of animal food. There is nothing better than fresh oat lean meat and bones, tha danger from uncooked meat scraps, however, being that they ara liable to contain disease' germs, and unless it is known to be free from disease it is better to cook it. The commercial aitlcle of beef scraps put no by the large packing booses are largely used; soma of the stuff told for poultrv food is only fit for ferti lizer, however. Daring seasons of tha year when insects and worms ara plentiful aod the fowls have the liberty of the farm, little animal food may be fed. Another point about teeding grain should it be ground or fed whole? It is known that a certain proportion of j tbe food of fowls is used to produce ! energy to grina 'the food, and from this point of view it is cheaper to have the food ground at the milL Bot it has been foe ad by experiment that fowls do not do well whea fed altogether on groand food. It has been foond to be a safe plan to keep box or hopper of ground grain before beiore tbe fowls all the time as well as whole urain. When thev are confined.1 l n -j i. "uu grain bad better be fed in a deep li t r ot atiaw in order to induce ex etcise. j Tbe Dual point In this discussion is the laying capacity of the hen. If all ! tbe three thiu mentioned above be t troperly athndeJ to, there will still : be a scarcity of eggs unless the fowls j ave tbe laying capacity and it ia no 1 fault of the ken ;if she hasn't; the trouble goes back to her ancestors. This is a question of heredity and if it be not true that the beu transmits her laying qualities to her offspring tbe laws of inheritance need revision. Tha Oregon experiment station is at work on this problem now and we hope in a few years to demonstrate what function or part breeding or heredity (lays in filling the egg basket when egga are SO oents a dozen. We have demonstrated, however, that no amount of skill or care will make some hens lay. In oor experiment we have foond hens that never laid an egg Buid tbey have varied all the way from tero to about 250 eggs in a year nnder similar care and management However, tbe average farm flock of pul lets, treated aa outlined above, should la" an average of 160 eggs doring the year even though there ara some dead beads ainoog them.

Retire Southern Pacific Stocks. Rnmors that hava been afloat for two months that the Southern Paolflo management contemplates the retire ment ot tha preferred stock has re ceived official confirmation. About $39,600,000 of preferred la ontataading. It is 7 per cent cumulative stock. subject to call at 116 until July ltfOl, and convertible into common stock at par at tha holder's option. Preferred was authorized in 1904, when the company paid no dividends aud it was considered advisable to raise money in this manner. Ihe second issue of preferred stock was sold when the money was tight last year. The management estimates a saving of $16,000,000 a year can be made by calling in preferred. The exact method of retiring it has not been decided opon, bot it will be by the iasae of oommon stock. Ic a trade magaxine a writer dis cusses the question : When to stop advertising. Ha says in answer: "When buyers forget to forget; when every actoal and prospective customer haa been convinced that your product is the best of ita kind and nothing better can be produced, then, and only then, will it be safe to get along without advertising. Just aa long aa old buyers die and new one take their places; jnst so long aa there Is com petition to coax your easterners from I you; just so long as there Is pneaibll ty that eonibeody else Iwill produce a better product, just so .long will it be important, absolutely Decennary, to ! carry on tha work of educating and reminding yoor own and your oom pet 1 tor s customers aa to your goods.'

Maluly through bis efforts it la now what it is. It it well equipped, well managed and everything Is working in harmony. I can aea no reason why any on should have any complaint against Prof. Tomer, hla methods, bia .busi ness, or tba high school. Prof. Tomer has won the respect of every popll and student who has bee under him and why should anyone wish to make him ha disrespected merely because Mr. Turner's method art little in advanoe of liter , A parent or a teacher cannot govern their children .or popila if they art not respected and loved by than. Why break thia power which ha haa , for working for tbelr Improvement? Prof. Turner's methods should not b oritlolsed because be has to conform to the state ichool laws and hat to niaka ( tha high aohool to an it tha people and to prepare tba students for university and boslness college work. Ilia bust uete is to attend to the schools and If ha dues this to auit tbe majority of tha oitlzena, tha auhool board, he should not be critlzed any more than , a boslness man. Aa to tha high school, there are only one or two taklog three studies. Students who were not fully prepared when tbey entered high school were given thia privilege so that tbey would not have to drop oot. As to great num. ber of students taking six studlea this would be absurd, because neither tha state school lawa nor the univer sity preparatory work requires thia and tba program could not be mad for this. Thia would make tha stodrnt recite steady for five hours a day. For myself, I can say that I hava known Prof Turner for nearly four yeara aa a high school student and have always respected him. I hava foond no reason to disrespect him or to find fault with his methods or holiness. He haa always worked bard for tbe school and Is especially Inter ested In the high school. Thia shonld bring forth appreciation and no criticism. I have foond that bard study Is neoessary to accomplish any thing. But the high school work i not too bard. I do not claim to be brilliant scholar, but by study I hava received above 90 per cent in six. studies for this first auhool month. Htlll I do not think there is any rea son why anyone should take als stodles continuously merely to glorify the high school. HIOH SCHOOL STUDENT. A Common Cold. We claim that if catching cold could be avoided some of the most dangerous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forma a culture bed for genus of infectious diseases. Consumption, pneu monia, diphtheria and scarlet fevar, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of thia class. The culture bed formed by tha oold favors the development of the germs ol tlies diseases, that would not otherwise Una Imli-aenU There la little danger, however, of any of theae diseases being conlrst ted when a good eipectoranl rouph mrrlit ine lilts Cliainlwrlain a Cough lU-nmlv Is u-rti.
